Photo Friday: Notice that you noticed, a.k.a. it's all in the details

Guest Post from Ann

Sometimes I get so focused on getting the perfect photo of
something like the birthday girl with her face smeared with cake (come on,
that’s classic) that I forget it might be nice to take a photo of the cake
before it gets smashed into oblivion. Noticing details and capturing them gives
your work variety. It also provides a record that’s pretty unbeatable. For
example, someday when the kid in the photo is grown up, she would know that her
first birthday cake had orange flowers on it or that she wore purple shoes.

On that note, I think shoes and feet make marvelous subjects
for photos. When we were taking a walk recently, I noticed how cute my baby’s
little feet looked poking out of her green stroller. I love the resulting
image.

So go ahead and let people wonder what you’re taking a picture
of THAT for (I’ve taken some of my
favorites while people asked me that very question). You know, and that’s all
that matters.
